[QUOTE="mac57, post: 261648, member: 17052"] This is only related, but it may help point you in the right direction. I had troubles getting my backspace key to work properly. Ultimately, the answer lay in creating a file called .inputrc in my home directory and putting the following magic in it: "\e[3~: delete-char This corrected my delete key, so that it worked as a delete vs. a backspace. I found this out by googling "bash delete key" (bash is the shell that Terminal uses). So, for you, two suggestions: 1/ Do you have a .inputrc file that may be the cause of the strange behavior? 2/ Perhaps a google of "bash backspace key" might turn up some clues for you Good luck!
